Dining room at Ca' Dario, Santa Barbara, CAWith an Italian waitstaff and authentic Italian cooking, Ca’Dario feels like a trattoria in the Old Country. Chef-owner Dario Furlati, originally from Piedmont, prepares such classic Northern Italian dishes as spinach ravioli with butter-sage sauce, baked chicken with porcini mushrooms, and a hefty veal chop. Rotisserie specials include chicken, rabbit and duck. Delicate starters include thin-sliced pieces of smoked swordfish served with fennel, radicchio and arugula, and fresh soups are made daily. A few tables line the sidewalk outdoors. Plenty of Italian wines appear on the list, and the desserts are worth saving room for. This is one of Santa Barbara’s most popular eateries, so make reservations or be prepared to wait.
